Experienced Home and Pet Owner

About this sitter

Hello! Thank you for reading my profile. I am a woman in her mid-60s in good physical condition looking to potentially housesit for you and your pet(s). I live in Miami, Florida, and have lived in Miami for almost 40 years. I currently am in the very enviable position of having the luxury of time to travel for as long or as short as I'd like.

Why they want to house sit

I can't think of a better way to both scratch my itch to have pets and experience a location from a local perspective. Additionally, I'm not really a hotel person. I greatly prefer homestays, such as Airb&Bs.

Their experience

Yes! from 1988 to 2018, I owned several houses in Miami and raised and maintained dogs, cats, gerbils, birds, and fish along with two children. Pound puppies, my last two pets died of old age within six months of each other in 2018. While I miss them every day, I am truly enjoying being unencumbered at this stage of my life. That said, I really look forward to walking your dog or playing with your cat every day according to the schedule you have already set out for your pet. I understand from experience dogs can be naturally exuberant and need a loving, friendly close eye. I love cats and am currently the "auntie" of a close friend's cat. I owned a cockatiel, and understand the unique needs of birds. I understand the importance of maintaining proper feeding habits for fish. I can also water your plants.

What can they bring to the assignment

I am a mature, experienced house owner and pet owner, and am a fairly private person who lives a low-key lifestyle. I know what it is like to own and maintain a house. I will absolutely take care and consideration of your home and pets as if my own. Non smoker.

As this is a brand new profile, references will be added shortly. While I do not have any references yet for homestays, as I have just posted my profile as of 5/10/22, I am happy to share my feedback from Airb&B owners and friends who have known me for decades. I can also do a police report.
